Chapter 77 Chapter 77 That is Yu Wan’s biological mother
When Fu Zhiyao received Wei Xian's message, he was looking through the documents that needed to be signed. The senior director of the Finance Department was standing at the desk waiting patiently.
Fu Zhiyao paused and did not check his phone immediately. He confirmed that the data in the file was correct, signed his name, and handed the document to Director Nian.
"Our third quarter publicity expenses exceeded our budget. Last month, we asked you to reduce each department's quarterly publicity budget. What's your feedback? We'll set aside time for a meeting to discuss this."
The senior director quickly stepped forward and took the document. "Okay, Mr. Fu, I'll arrange the meeting as soon as possible."
"Um."
After Director Nian left the office, Fu Zhiyao picked up his phone and opened the message from Wei Xian.
Fu Zhiyao was very satisfied with just these simple words, as if the person being praised was not Yu Wan, but him.
The current relationship with Yu Wan is the best outcome Fu Zhiyao can imagine. He has already made it clear to Yu Wan that he likes her and there is no need to hide anything. The only thing he needs to consider is whether his love will cause trouble to Yu Wan.
Just like Zhou Quyang said, the inequality of status will cause people to feel biased inside.
Even if Yu Wan agreed to his confession and was with him, others would question whether she relied on her body to get to the top. Fu Zhiyao did not want Yu Wan to be in such a storm of public opinion. He understood Yu Wan's potential, knew and appreciated her ambition, and was willing to be the one to lend a hand to help her climb up.
As for the rest, Fu Zhiyao didn't dare to act rashly except to let things take their own course.
Because Yu Wan has a shortcoming that is not really a shortcoming, she is still too young, and she has only experienced this world for twenty-three years. In the future, perhaps Yu Wan will meet a more suitable person and love each other without a doubt. Perhaps Yu Wan will never choose to enter into a relationship or marriage in this life, and continue to develop deeply in the field of work.
There are countless possibilities for Yu Wan's future.
But for Fu Zhiyao, there is only one possibility: he likes Yu Wan.
Fu Zhiyao sighed lightly and put down his phone.
The black landline phone rang, and Cai Yang's voice was on the other end. "Boss, Xiao Zhao from the front desk downstairs said that a Mr. Lu wants to see you, but he doesn't have an appointment. He said you'll understand once you answer the phone. Do you want me to transfer you?"
The surname is Lu, and Xiao Zhao at the front desk doesn't know him. Fu Zhiyao can't think of anyone else except Lu Juefeng, the low-key vice president of Yufeng.
Fu Zhiyao's eyes instantly turned cold. "No need. Let Xiao Zhao take him to Conference Room 3 on the fifth floor. I'll be downstairs right away."
In conference room number three.
After getting permission, Zhao Yingying invited Lu Sui into the conference room and brought him a cup of hot tea. "Mr. Lu, please wait a moment and have a cup of hot tea. Our President Fu will be downstairs soon."
Lu Sui smiled slightly, his voice gentle: "Okay, thank you."
Zhao Yingying had no resistance to good-looking people, and even less to those who were both good-looking and gentle. Due to working hours, she restrained herself and smiled back, then turned and left.
Only after Fu Zhiyao stepped out of the elevator did Zhao Yingying pick up another cup of hot tea, walk quickly in front to show Fu Zhiyao the way, put the hot tea next to Fu Zhiyao, quietly close the door, and switch the electronic screen sign at the door to Do Not Disturb.
The air conditioner was on in the conference room. Fu Zhiyao and Lu Sui sat on either side of a long table. Two cups of hot tea on the table emitted wisps of white mist, blurring the faces of the two people in front of them.
The meeting room was silent for half a minute, and Lu Sui was the first to speak: "Mr. Fu, aren't you curious about why I came to see you?"
Is Fu Zhiyao curious?
Of course I'm curious.
Emotions like liking and loving are always mixed with possession. He can sit here calmly and meet Lu Sui, but he just doesn't want the other party to make a scene in front of Yu Wan.
"Mr. Lu is not someone who likes to waste time. Apart from Yu Wan, what else can you and I talk about?" Fu Zhiyao said.
Lu Sui curled the corners of his lips, speaking in a cold and even tone, "Indeed, it was beyond my expectation that President Fu would be so amicable when he was allowed to sit with the adopted son of his father's murderer."
Fu Zhiyao silently clenched his hands on his knees. "Lu Juefeng, I don't have time to talk to you about these roundabout ways. There is no cooperation between us, only competition. If you continue to play dumb with me here, I will have the company security escort you out."
Lu Sui picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip, then said slowly: "I understand, Fu Zhiyao, I came to you to discuss cooperation with you."
"Cooperation?" Fu Zhiyao sneered, his words full of sarcasm. "Who are you to say that?"
He was not surprised that Lu Juefeng knew that his parents' death was related to Lu Zongxin. After all, he had been targeting the Yufeng Group for six years. Even if Lu Zongxin didn't say it, Lu Jufeng must have investigated it privately.
But since he knew that Lawrence Lu was his enemy, he should have understood that he would never cooperate with him.
Even though he was just Lu Zongxin's adopted son.
Lu Sui's expression remained calm. "Of course I'm not qualified. What about Yu Wan? Lu Zongxin and Lu Yusen knew about my relationship with Yu Wan and sent people to follow her. Especially since you've handed the bid for the Xinmao land to Yu Wan, it's tantamount to pushing Yu Wan into the fire pit."
The land of Xinmao Building is a big project. Given the size of Fu Group, it is not afraid of competing with others, but it lets Yu Wan be the first to take action. Lu Sui doesn't understand what Fu Zhiyao is thinking.
He didn't think that Fu Zhiyao didn't know that Lu Yusen's target was Xinmao, but Fu Zhiyao let Yu Wan take over Xinmao's project. If he liked Yu Wan, he should be more concerned about Yu Wan's safety. Why did he let Yu Wan be in danger?
Fu Zhiyao's eyes were sharp, and his emotions finally fluctuated when Lu Sui mentioned that Yu Wan was being followed. "So Lu Zong thinks I should remove Yu Wan's title of project manager when she's most eager to show her strength, and let her continue to be an ordinary secretary? Mr. Lu is not stupid. It was clearly you who pushed Yu Wan into the fire pit in the first place."
If Lu Sui had not deliberately appeared in front of Yu Wan, Yu Wan would not have had any contact with Lu Sui, and naturally, would not have attracted the attention of Lu Yusen and Lu Zongxin.
Lu Sui was not disrupted by Fu Zhiyao's accusations, and there was no sign of abnormality on his handsome face.
Lu Sui: "I'm very pleased that Mr. Fu can always consider things from Yu Wan's perspective, but isn't Mr. Fu curious about who the woman was who took Yu Wan to the clothing store to question her that day?"
Fu Zhiyao's eyes moved slightly, and just as he opened his mouth to stop Lu Sui, he heard Lu Sui's voice.
"That's Yu Wan's biological mother."
Finally, a heavy hammer hit Fu Zhiyao hard.
Lu Sui continued expressionlessly, "It was her biological mother who cruelly abandoned Yu Wan after she was born."
"Her current identity is probably familiar to you. She is Yu Heya, the wife of Song Zhengxiong, the chairman of Haidu Group, and the mother of Song Chuchu."
Song Chuchu?
Fu Zhiyao vaguely remembered this person from the depths of his memory.
After he was drugged, he checked the surveillance footage and found that Song Chuchu appeared in the corridor on the sixth floor at the same time where she should not have been. Even though the drug was not administered by Song Chuchu herself, out of consideration for Song Chuchu's identity, he transferred her to the logistics department and told Director Gao to pay more attention to her. However, not long after, Director Gao reported to him that Song Chuchu had already resigned.
Therefore, Fu Zhiyao did not take this man seriously.
Just think of working in his company as a game of pretending to be Cinderella, which is a favorite among the rich second-generation kids.
Lu Sui continued, "Yu Heya is not Song Chuchu's biological mother. She and Song Chuchu's biological mother are friends. The relationship is very complicated and difficult to explain in a short time. You can understand it as the lover getting pregnant and wanting to take the position, and eventually dying with the legal wife, allowing Yu Heya to take advantage and become the chairman's wife of Haidu Group at the cost of abandoning her own biological child."
Yu Wan is the abandoned biological child.
Fu Zhiyao looked at Lu Sui with gritted teeth, wishing he could grab the man's collar and punch him hard in his hypocritical face.
Throwing such a hot potato at him casually, making him carry a bomb with the pin already pulled out, might hurt the relationship between him and Yu Wan at any time.
He could no longer let Yu Wan have a worse impression of him.
Lu Sui smiled, finally satisfied with Fu Zhiyao's performance and reaction. "Mr. Fu, I'm not saying this to threaten you. Yu Wan doesn't care who her biological mother is, nor does she want to be recognized as a relative and return to Yu Heya. What she wants is actually very simple."
Rather than reuniting with the mother who abandoned her, Yu Wan wanted to have something to rely on to survive independently, such as a career and money.
Fu Zhiyao and he both knew all this.
"What is your purpose?"
"My purpose?" Lu Sui's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm. "What do you think I'll say? To tell you to stay away from Yu Wan? Oh, Fu Zhiyao, I know you like Yu Wan, but I don't want your so-called love to hurt her, because you're not worthy of Yu Wan at all."
Lu Suicong does not regard Fu Zhiyao as an opponent. His goals are similar to Fu Zhiyao's to some extent.
After recognizing Yu Wan, he never appeared in front of Fu Zhiyao because he didn't want Yu Wan to have a difficult time as a secretary. He did try to persuade Yu Wan to change jobs indirectly, but he could see that Yu Wan loved her work and didn't want to be the one who destroyed it.
Lu Sui knew his physical condition better than anyone else, and had even made the decision to fight to the death with Lu Jiayu, until he received that anonymous email in February.
[Brother Lu Sui, leave the Lu family, stay away from Song Chuchu, take your medicine on time, and don't give up treatment.]
He suppressed the urge to go find Yu Wan immediately, revised his plan, and prepared everything before going to find Yu Wan. However, Yu Wan seemed to have forgotten everything in the past, and her attitude towards him was polite yet distant.
Lu Sui didn't dare to provoke her, so he could only disguise his identity and pretend that he knew nothing.
Yu Wan is a soft-hearted person. Even though he deceived her, she still chose to stay when Fu Zhiyao was angry about it, and asked him with a worried look what happened after he left the orphanage.
He wanted to lie to her and say that those psychological treatment reports were fake, but he knew he couldn't fool her, so he could only say that he would take the medicine well and maybe he would get better one day.
Yu Wan believed it, or rather, she had no choice but to believe it.
Lu Yusen's unauthorized intervention promoted the implementation of his plan, but at the same time he intervened, he used Yu Wan as a threat, which Lu Sui could not tolerate.
Apart from seeking cooperation with Fu Zhiyao, Lu Sui couldn't think of a way to achieve both.
Lu Sui slowly breathed in a breath of oxygen. He said in a deep voice, "I can kill Lu Zongxin myself. What do you think, Mr. Fu, in exchange for this?"
Fu Zhiyao stood up suddenly, staring at Lu Sui with a sharp gaze: "Are you crazy?!"
"No, I'm sober."
"You casually mentioned the word murder when you were sober?"
Lu Sui was not impatient at all. "I thought it would be more satisfying to punish the enemy who killed my parents with my own hands. It turns out that Mr. Fu is such a law-abiding person. But it doesn't matter. I can do anything. I have evidence in my hand that Lu Zongxin hired someone to kill your parents. Is this enough?"
Fu Zhiyao seemed to hear the sound of the taut strings in his mind breaking one by one. He clenched his fists harder and harder, and the veins on his forehead bulged. Under Lu Sui's guidance, his rationality and calmness turned into burnt ashes bit by bit.
Fu Zhiyao wanted this evidence, evidence that was enough to put Lu Zongxin in prison and sentence him to death!
He did not consider the possibility that Lu Sui had deceived him. Compared with the flamboyant and unreliable Lu Yusen, since Lu Sui said this, it proved that he had the capital for exchange.
After a while, Fu Zhiyao gave up resisting and said in a dazed voice, "...I have a lot of concerns. I can't be as cool and casual as Mr. Lu. Just tell me what you want me to do."
Lu Sui looked at Fu Zhiyao coldly, "All of this transaction is based on Yu Wan acquiring the Xinmao land. I hope you can ensure her safety during this period, and help her when necessary."
If Yu Wan took over the land of Xinmao, she would be a thorn in Lu Yusen's side. That madman Lu Yusen might do something more terrifying than tracking and surveillance. If Yu Wan did not take over the land of Xinmao, her threat in Lu Yusen's eyes would decrease, and Lu Yusen would not always target Yu Wan.
All Lu Yusen wants is money and power.
The former was held in the hands of Mr. Lu, and the latter was held in the hands of his stepmother and Lu Sui.
So next, Lu Sui will resign due to illness and hand over the power that Lu Yusen wants to him, letting him taste the power and then come to him in shame to beg him.
Lu Sui handed the phone screen to Fu Zhiyao and said in a cold voice, "The plan from now on will revolve around Haidu and Yufeng. I want to drag both of their groups into the water at the same time."
Fu Zhiyao understood Lu Sui's plan after just two glances. It can be said that it had been planned for a long time, and the only thing missing was the right opportunity.
He could understand Yufeng Group, but what about Haidu Group?
Fu Zhiyao frowned: "Do you want to avenge Yu Wan?"
"I should ask you this." Lu Sui's dark eyes were deep and unfathomable. "Do you know why Haidu has been closely tied to Yufeng for a long time? It's not just because of Fu's targeting."
"The truck driver who caused the accident was hired by Haidu Chairman Song Zhengxiong."
